Bishop has well over 200 cuts to his credit in a wide range of genres, "from bluegrass to heavy metal," including the 5-week #1, My List, recorded by Toby Keith, country radio's most-played song of 2002. Bishop is the author of the hit songwriting memoir, Makin' Stuff Up, secrets of song-craft and survival in the music-biz.

The workshop will begin with Bishop filling attendees in on the 12 most essential choices to constructing a solidly crafted pop song. Attendees will then break up into co-writing teams to collaborate on these 12 choices. Bishop will circulate, coaching each team, and guiding them through their process. Finally the group will come together to discuss and evaluate each team's choices and brainstorm suggestions on how to improve them.
